Double Drabble: Temptation
Title: Temptation
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, Jack, Lisa.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 772: Resist at tw100.
Spoilers: Cyberwoman.
Summary: Ianto finds himself torn between caring for Lisa and wanting Jack.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
Jack is gorgeous, willing, and from everything Ianto has seen, available. He’s also making it very clear that he’s interested in getting more from Ianto than just an excellent cup of coffee.
Ianto can’t deny his own interest; there’s something about Jack that makes him hard to resist. Perhaps it’s the delicious aroma the man insists is fifty-first century pheromones rather than cologne, or it could simply be his good looks and supreme self-confidence. Whatever it is, Ianto can’t help being drawn to him. It’s problematic, because Ianto isn’t free to pursue anything with his new boss, not even on a casual friends with benefits basis.
Everything he’s done so far has been for Lisa, and she has to remain his priority. He’s going to save her, restore her to the woman she was before Canary Wharf, then they’ll run away together, start their lives over. There’s no room for Jack in that scenario.
Still, the temptation is there because Jack is warm and vibrantly alive while Lisa is cold metal and machinery, so doped up on painkillers and sedatives that even holding a simple conversation with her is an effort.
How much longer can he resist what Jack’s offering?
The End
